Start Here: About This Blog

My name is Kelly Perry, and I'm a Registered Nurse Instructor who worked for Venture Forthe, Inc. of WNY, a home health agency serving Western New York. 

What started as a promising position in healthcare education quickly escalated into a hostile work environment. This blog documents the events that led to my formal whistleblower case, including:

- An inappropriate sex toy sent to me under the guise as a Nurse's Week gift - which I was expected to use in a training setting, despite my clear objection.

- Retaliation following my reports, including interference with my ADA and FMLA rights, and psychological pressure in the workplace.

- Ignored formal complaints and legal demands, contradictory internal responses, and delayed or obstructed access to my personnel records.

- A sexual harassment complaint, formally escalated after my initial objections were disregarded.

- Failure of leadership, including the company president, referring me back to individuals named in my complaints, despite the obvious conflict of interest.

I have compiled and will submit these details to a selected investigative reporter and am prepared to release all documentation publicly if no meaningful resolution is offered. This blog exists to ensure the truth is preserved - not twisted, buried, or ignored. Every post on this site is part of the bigger picture. If you're reading this, it's because I believe truth matters - and I'm no longer staying silent.

This Is How They Responded

Not long after I raised this serious concern, I was called into a Google meeting with my direct supervisor and a high-ranking administrator.  But the issue I had flagged? They didn't even mention it.  I had to bring it up myself- calmly, professionally. They showed no intention of addressing it. Instead, the conversation quickly turned towards me. I was told that I appeared "unempathetic" and "unapproachable"- not to them, but to my students. No names. No specific examples. Just a vague criticism, dropped like a warning. I responded clearly, "My students reviews speak for themselves "  And in that moment, they backed off. The tone shifted. The accusation didn't hold- because it couldn't.  When I attempted to explain what had been happening with the two students in question- facts I had written down- they interrupted me. I wasn't angry or emotional. I was prepared. They didn't want to hear it. My supervisor then added something else: tha...

The Truth Will Not Be Silenced

The article went live. It named the company. It told the truth. And just like that — it was gone. WNY News Now published a professional, factual piece about what happened to me at Venture Forthe. It exposed how I was given a sex toy to use in a medical training class, how I objected, and how I was retaliated against until I had no choice but to leave. The article explained my story clearly — and it showed the public what I’ve been saying all along. It was up long enough to be seen, shared, reacted to, and commented on. And then, without warning, it disappeared. No explanation. No correction. Just wiped from the site. But here’s the thing: removing the article won’t erase what happened to me. They might be able to silence one post, but they can’t silence me . I’ve documented everything. I have screenshots. Timelines. Emails. I’ve filed complaints. I’ve kept records. I’ve told the truth from day one. And I’m not backing down. I’m not waiting for anyone else to speak for me. I’ll ke...

Retaliation Continues as I Attempt to Record the Past

This morning  I sat down to continue my timeline. Specifically, a black-out incident that occurred earlier in April.  Instead,  I encountered something new... I logged into my Paylocity account to check my recent pay stub and was met with a red message: "Account is Inactive." No notice. No explanation. No alternative access provided. I haven't received a termination letter, and I constructively discharged myself on 5/22/25, after months of retaliation. Regardless of how employment ends, employers are legally required to provide access to wage records and tax documentation.  I immediately sent a formal request to HR with a screenshot of the lockout. I was just trying to continue telling my story. But this story keeps writing itself. --K
